In Which the Blog was almost lost, and other thoughts

Good evening, my friend, reader of the present post, I am happy to see you, always happy to see you. How are you, this fine beginning of Thursday? The past few days have been of profound stress and tears of desperation. This is due in special because my blog, I believe due to an AI moderation malfunction, was flagged as malware and taken down by Google. That was the equivalent of throwing me in an ice lake in antartica. I made an appeal afterwards, and thankfully the error was corrected, but until it was recovered, I had a horrendous Tuesday-Wednesday night. I was weeping through the whole evening, I risked losing the work, albeit hobby oriented, of 8 years.  It was not the only reason for my tears. I also saw an eulogy a new pen pal made for his great friend, that unfortunately perished. I felt awful for him, and I wish I could have met his good friend, he seemed like a lovely gentleman.

Song of the week! In which we wish we could turn back in time

Hello everyone! Happy Friday to you!!! As you know, time for song of the week! Wow, can't believe we're already on August 17, the month of August is going fast, I think! Soon the summer will be back, but at this point it doesn't make a difference, it's hot just like it was summer already!
So, today we'll be seeing one of my favorites by Cher, that musical chamaleon! It's not only one of my favorites, but also at this point one cultural classic! Yes, if you saw the title of this post you probably already guessed what tune I'm talking about! If I Could Turn Back Time, of her Heart of Stone album of 1989!!



Cher is definitely an icon that spreads through so many musical genres! In this particular one, on her rock period, she gave us a powerful song on asking for forgiveness and how words we say can impact a relationship in bad ways. Guess we all had those moments, like she say in the song "words are like weapons, they wound sometimes", something we heard time and time again, and at some levels became a cliché, but a very truthful one. Unfortunately we can't go back in time -yet- BUT that doesn't mean we can't wish for it and sing about it, am I right?? Also, her whole outfit for this song and this period of her career became iconic, she's indeed a fashion icon as well! If you don't have Spotify do not worry, I have the Youtube link right here with me!

This very nice song and this very nice artist is what we have for today!! I'm so happy to be here! Hope you enjoyed it as well!! See you next time!!
